Mr. Speaker, I may remind the Prime Minister that we were not the ones who said that the unemployed were people who sat around at home drinking beer, and that separation is not the issue here. What is the issue is respect for people, and beyond our social programs, we must still respect the dignity of people who are suffering.
Instead of trying to enlist newspaper editors in his crusade against the needy, the Prime Minister should have, I believe-and today, I want to ask: Does he agree that he should have offered them a real job recovery program to restore the hope and dignity of the unemployed and the needy?
